Because at that time the country isn't stable
*British wanna withdraw fast fast
*indo and pinoy hates My. Even send invasion team
*communist terrorist is rampant in rural
*socialist communist party is stronk in urban areas
*pendatang outnumbered the bumi at this time.
*racial tension so high every few years fight broke out leaving pipu dead.
So Tunku unilaterally decided for a two state solution (kinda like Israel) one homeland for the Bumi another for Democrats capitalist overseas chinis (since living in communist china isn't really an option)
This is why HK will not gain self determination. Simply becoz china isn't in any kind of shit. Even if they rolls in tanks no one in the world will backed hongkis at all. Last time they invade Tibet leaving almost a million dead (according to dalai Lama) no one does shit and pretend not seeing anything.
Also what will hongkis eat? In SG case. Indon so please that My-Sg separate that they allow indon to be sinki hinterland. Where indon put their money, get treatment, their transhipment Centre as well as Changi being indon gateways to the world (because indon port,airport all sucks)
yes, thanks so much for u sincere reply. true. im convinced with ur answer and i much appreciate it.
actually, the memoirs oso say that, cause when singapore under british rule, it is a very important port and colony for the british. The british has many important trades to do at sg port. a lot of sgreans (particularly chinese) merchants decided to reside in singapore due to the chaos back in mainland china. When singapore join malaya, malaya was worried that these rich merchants might spead the influence through the whole malaya. at that time in the beginning of unification, malaya already had a lot of problem and issues. therefore, in order to stop 'singapore' from controlling malaya in future, malaya had no choice but to let singapore go. which at the same time, singapore oso wanna quit. its like a win win situation. and hence sg become an independent sovereign state.
hk one i nothing to add, cause oso not so sure
